Ingredients:

800g
8 oz broccoli
230g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
55g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
3. Prepare the Broccolini:
- While the potatoes are cooking, trim and chop the broccolini.
4. Cook the Broccolini:
- Add the chopped broccolini to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, just until tender but still vibrant green.
5. Drain and Mash:
- Drain the potatoes and broccolini well, then return them to the pot.
- Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dash of salt.
6. Mash the Mixture:
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes and broccolini together until you reach your desired consistency.
- Mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
8. Serve:
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.

- Steam the broccoli instead of boiling it to retain its nutrients and bright green color.

- Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Gouda, to suit your taste preferences.

- If you prefer a richer mash, you can use whole milk or even add a bit of butter.

- Season the mash with additional spices like garlic powder or black pepper to enhance the flavor.

Allow yourself to savor each bite of this delightful Cheesy Potato and Broccolini Mash. Not only is it simple and quick to prepare, but it also brings together fantastic flavors and textures that will complement any main course.
